John Kerry: Good, bad, or both?

[sky547]

1) His down-to-earth nature. Besides Dean, he was definitely the next best candidate (not counting Sharpton - kidding). I like Dean's excitement better, but Kerry seems more the "presidential type." He's strong in his convictions and isn't afraid to say what he feels (plus his wife told a reporter to "shove it").
2) The fact that he tends to change his point of view. It isn't as bad as the right likes to make it out to be, but still, it is a bit frustrating sometimes.
3) Be more excited. Like I said before, I liked Dean's energy a lot better. I must say, though, that at the DNC his speech was excellent.
4) Excellent. Very convincing. There is something about him that makes him seem trustworthy. I had to take myself down a notch once or twice while watching the DNC because I found myself believing absolutely in everything he was saying (though I know most of it has either been said before without result or just said to gain votes).
5) I agree with his positions. To respond to something someone said earlier, he is not ashamed of his voting record in the Senate - it's no big secret that he came home from Vietnam and became and anti-war protester. And I respect him for that.
6) I have no other comments for this post, but I would just like to say how surprised I am that everyone is being mature about this thread - considering that it's one of the three things you shouldn't discuss (the other two being religion and, of course, the Great Pumpkin).
